WHY??????








Previously I spoke about your “WHY” so now I’ll explain what I mean about it.

"YOUR "WHY" THE STARTING POINT OF SUCCESS
The 1st thing that'll contribute to reaching your goal is that you want to reach it badly enough!"

Above is a quote from my previous post.

When you start out to do something, we will use strength training as an example, typically you attack it with a goal in mind, let’s say a 400lb bench press. Normally a person will go out get a program, like Critical Bench, start the program but what happens after a few weeks depends on “WHY” that person started on that path in the 1st place. If the reason, [WHY], for a 400 bench was not strong enough the person then gets distracted and stops their pursuit. Where as if say the “WHY” he felt it would make him a better lineman for his football team which will help get a scholarship, that person will have a much better chance of reaching their goal.

Another way of achieving your goal is to sort of twist it into something that happens as a result of achieving another goal. You still need a strong why. This time let’s say a person wants to loose weight, but just dieting hasn’t worked in the past, one way to attack this would be to set another goal that will bring upon the weight loss. An example would be if a person has a goal to swing a 24kg kettlebell for 10 minutes straight to improve their cardio a side effect will be weight and fat loss. I know there are more factors but I think the point is made.

Sometimes the journey is better then the destination.
